Family of soldier killed by Hezbollah waits for answers

The family of a soldier killed in a Hezbollah attack along the northern border in January says it has not yet received answers from the army on its probe into the incident.

Staff Sergeant Dor Chaim Nini’s family says it hopes officials are not trying to cover up any details of the case, Israel Radio reports.

Nini was killed along with Major Yochai Kalangel when an anti-tank missile hit their convoy in the Har Dov region. Questions have been raised in Israel about why the soldiers were traveling in unarmored vehicles in the volatile area during a time of increased tensions with Hezbollah.

The army says the family has not yet received an update on the investigation, as the work is ongoing. The military adds that the families of the two soldiers will be briefed on the findings when they are available.
